I'm sure I'd recognise a car like that 8O Although that front lip is interesting.

You're a brave man, buying that chariot! Welcome aboard!

LOL your not the first to say that to me. Had it up on the ramp and we was shocked how clean it is, there was a blister on the scuttle pannel under the windscreen N/S but we've welded a plate in and sorted it out nicely.
Gave £400 for her with tax and MOT its all run out now tho. lol got a long way to go but should be fun.

That's not a bad price at all if all the panels are straight and you can do a new paint job yourself :D What engine's it got under the bonnet?

And in case you've not checked EVERYWHERE, have a flick through the Wiki to learn where these old motors properly Rust:
